I Love Flowers

Here is a card I made for my friend for Mother's Day.  The stamp is from I Brake For Stamps colored with copics.  The background is done with watercolors. 

I used the Dylusions Resist background technique from Technique Junkies Newsletter which is this week's Try That Technique.  The background stamp is from Stampin Up!  This technique is so easy, easy, easy and it generates such beautiful and unique results.

I am so happy that you stopped by today and I hope you have a crafty day!

Happy Mother's Day

Today here is a card for Mother's Day.  I used the Technique Junkies technique called Tie Dye Circles.  The stamp is from I Brake For Stamps which I colored with copics.  The sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo.  I used my watercolors to color behind the stamp.

 

I used the circle from here cut in half to make the inside.  The sentiment on the inside is from Gina K Designs.

Spring has Sprung

Well, I am here is VT enjoying another snowstorm...my husband and I will be snowmobiling until the trails close on April 15.  This is the first time in a long time...love it!

Anywho, onto today's card.  I am using a really fun spring stamp from I Brake For Stamps. (Sentiment stamp is from Penny Black). The papers are from Gina K Designs.  I cut out the swirls with my Sizzix dies.  I added some bling with my Sakura Glitter Pen...my fav!

I had some inspiration (in the shower...which happens more than you think)...I decided to color the birdhouse as if it was made out of wood with my copics.  The stamp is open and allows for you to have some creative license.  I really love how it came out...just like I imagined!

I hope you like today's project, join me tomorrow for some more inspiration.

Have a great day!

Welcome Baby

My mom's friend's son is having his first baby...it's a girl.  She is making her some fabulous homemade gifts (quilts, clothes and blankets..oh my).  She asked me to make her a baby card to go with her gifts.

I won the cut file (The Cutting Café) in a blog hop that I did last year to benefit a fellow crafter with Cancer.  I wasn't sure what to do with them as I didn't have a cutter so I just kept them.  Imagine how delighted I was when I got my Silhouette Cameo...woo hoo.

Ok, on to the details.

The onesie, flowers and butterfly were part of the cut file.  The digi stamp is from Dustin Pike colored with copics.  I used the Technique Junkies newsletter "Copic Stencil" behind the elephant.  This is also a technique that I learned from the copic classroom "Creative Backgrounds" with Marie Gamber.  I used my silhouette to cut the paint splat that I used as my stencil.  Stamp is from Stampin Up!  Inside verse is from the internet.

I am entering this into the Copic Classroom Challenge - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

 

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Have a crafty day!

Happy Birthday Dad!

My dad's 63rd birthday was on January 10. We are going to dinner tonight so i finished up his birthday card. He really loves classic cars and I love this digi stamp that I found at Paper Garden.

I used a couple of different techniques from the technique junkies newsletter, out of the box, pulled color and drywall distress. I colored the truck with copics. The roses are colored with faded jeans distress ink. I mixed the distress ink with water and perfect pearls mixed in a spray bottle. I used a Stampin Up! punch to make the corners. I also added hardware from Stampin Up! That I colored with copic refills to match the truck. The blue cardstock is from Gina K Designs.

The inside of the card reads "No matter your age...you'll always be a classic".

Hope you have a crafty day!
